Roads/bridges are being constructed as basic infrastructure for the development of socio-economic life in the region and to facilitate convenient and swift transportation for the people. Armed insurgents who support terrorism and the so-called PDF terrorists, who oppose peace and development in the country, have been carrying out reckless acts by blowing up and destroying roads/ bridges with homemade mines and homemade bombs.
Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 3 July at 06:00 AM, armed insurgent groups supporting terrorism blew up the Yankote Creek Bridge located on the Kawkareik-Yankote-Naunghnine Village connected Road in Kawkareik Township, Kayin State. As a result of the explosion, approximately 120 feet of the 160-foot-long and 20-foot-wide Reinforced Concrete Bridge collapsed, making it impossible for the vehicles to pass through, it is reported.
Responsible officials are now repairing the damaged bridge so that it can be used by the public soon, and security force members are continue taking necessary measures to take punitive legal actions against the perpetrators who blew up the public bridge as soonest in accordance with the law, it is reported.
